Chapter 739 In the Gathering Hall
Lu Suixin could no longer stand up, and the doctor Cui who came to ask for information was also in a wheelchair. This was to remedy the heavy price paid by Emperor Jiajing's stupid mistake and the ministers.
Looking at their current situation, Chen felt very uncomfortable. However, Lu Lianxin and Cui Yan were used to it, so they comforted him with it. Cui Yan said, "I live a good life now. Although I can't walk, I can still treat everyone. No one thinks I am a useless person."
Lu Suixin's words were even more romantic: "I used to like to run around, but my heart was always so impetuous, but now I can't go anywhere. I calmed down and listened to the wind and looked at the moon, and felt that I was not so vulgar."
He couldn't feel relaxed, but he was rarely together, so he couldn't let go of the fun, so he forced himself to sit in the patio with a smile, drinking the mountain taxi tea while picking up the topic of relaxation.
After a while, He Xinyin came out of the kitchen, put seven or eight bamboo tubes in croquettes, and put them on the table and said, "Try the bamboo tube rice I made." "It's the bamboo tube rice again..." Cui Yan said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't give you the dosage."
"If you like it, don't eat it." He Xinyin split the bamboo tube in two pieces, revealing the hot and fragrant bamboo rice, and said, "You come and judge." As he said that, he skillfully split the other three, including ginseng chicken, diced black mushrooms, and a vegetable, all of which were roasted in bamboo tubes.
The rice is so sweet and delicious, with the fragrance of bamboo and the fragrance of rice. He couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious." "Look, there are always people who know the goods." He Xinyin handed Lu Suixin a rice sautumn, and smiled proudly at Cui Yan. "It's a pity for my chickens and mushrooms." Cui Yan shook his head and sighed, "I wanted to stew mushrooms with a chicken." He Xinyin pretended that he didn't hear it and ate it with a tube of rice.
Shen Shu didn't have much appetite. After a while, he got full. He stood up with a teacup and went to the house to visit. He saw that the furnishings inside were extremely simple, with seats, benches, bamboo mats and straw weavings, flowers on the table, and farm tools were placed in the corners of the wall, which was a village-level style.
But the most eye-catching thing is a central hall hanging on the wall facing the front, which is painted with a long-lasting old man. However, the old man's movements are not sitting, standing, or lying, but rolling on the ground. Most of the men who looked like scholars all had a ridiculous expression on their faces, but there was also a middle-aged man with a thoughtful face; there was also a young man with an epiphany.
Chen couldn't help but turn his eyes back to the old man. He saw him close his hands, covering his ears with his hands, looking like an old naughty boy. He couldn't help but laugh: "It's worthy of being a master and apprentice, all of whom are so unique." Even if he is like this, the not very pious student of Wang Xue knows who the person in the portrait is, and it is He Xinyin's teacher Yan Jun.
Yan Jun, named Shannong, is the Taishan Beidou of the Taizhou School. At the age of twenty-five, he listened to Yangming's "realizing conscience" and understood it. He sat down for seven days and nights, and then suddenly realized it. Then he went into the valley to study for nine months. He looked at the clarity of the Four Books and Six Classics, and picked up the pen as a text, like the rivers and rivers flowing. When he went home to see his elder brother and taught his studies of his life, he was shocked. The brothers forced him to participate in the imperial examination. He sighed and said, "Would you rather live this quiet life and be bound by others?" So he did not enter the imperial examination for life.
But he devoted himself to lecture throughout his life, and his disciples were everywhere. In addition to He Xinyin, there were Tan Lun, Luo Rufang, Wang Zhigao, Zou Yinglong and others. He was famous and invincible in the world. He was recognized as the leader of the common people.
What was drawn on this trunk was during a lecture. Yan Jun suddenly got up from the cushion and rolled on the spot, saying, "Take a look at my conscience." Then there was no further text. The Shilin still said to be a laughing stock. He Xinyin hangs this scene in the hall. What is the meaning? Let's look at the inscription on the side: "The laugher laughs, and the leader is the white-collar worker. Fortunately, there is a leader, and he laughs dryly, a hundred years, and a thousand years, and the mountain farmers ignore it.
This is a bit of Zen. The Buddhist scriptures say: "The Dharma is not spoken by the mediocre people, but not by the ones who cannot speak, but by the other people, so they do not stop because they are afraid that people will laugh and dare not speak.
, It seems that Yan Shannong would not be afraid of the people laughing, but only cared about the joy of the two people comprehension, but Chen realized that they were not among them, so he didn't have any brains to worry about. "What did you see?" At some point, He Xinyin stood behind him. "I didn't see anything." Chen laughed and said, "Shannong was self-conscience and was really interested in it, and he got out of it. What's the fuck with others?" "Hahaha, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, nothing, one, laughed, "He could always make a word, but didn't ask for a lot of understanding. It's a pity."
"Hahaha, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one" Chen, said with a smile = "I am a common man, a person who has no sudden enlightenment in this life." He said something in his words, because the young man who was enlightened in the painting was He Xinyin himself.
He Xinyin's real name is Liang Ruyuan. Before he was thirty years old, he was like the scholarly children in the world. After studying, he later changed his name to Yanshan Agricultural Sciences to "establish the original intention of Xinzhai" and changed his name to He Xinyin. The turning point was this time, "Mother Agriculture Rolling" Chen took advantage of the situation and asked, "I wonder what Brother He has gained?"
"I think Shannong's Zen meaning is 'What is the limit for people rolling in the world, day and night,'! He Xinyin said in a deep voice: "In the public, flatter the powerful and noble people to protect their glory for a day; in the dark room and leak, they are slaves to be happy for a while. Everyone is not the same, they are not the same, and they are not the same for a moment! Why is the Shannong laughing at the laughing stock when he rolls?!" Chen asked curiously: "Why don't you call a teacher and call Shannong? Is it because everyone laughs at this old age?"
"The mountain farmers are not my teacher." He Xinyin sighed heavily and said, "I regret that the mountain farmers cannot roll forever. When they roll, they will not see themselves inside, they will not see others outside, they will not be beautiful in the middle, they will not be ugly in the outside, they will not be able to get the body without being seen, they will not be seen in the west, they will forget both inside and outside, and their body and mind will be the same. It is difficult! I don't know if the mountain farmers have this kind of fruit? I don't know if the mountain farmers can roll forever? If I can get here, I will be my teacher. How can I be suspicious because everyone laughs at this old age? Unfortunately... I know that the mountain farmers have not been able to get here, "I have a big tone." Chen laughed and scolded: "What do you think of Mr. J, Mr. Nong?"
"Think of it as my friend." He Xinyin said seriously: "Among the five relationships, I value the most friendship between friends. The friendship between heaven and earth is called peace, and it is all friendships. The other four relationships are the heaven and earth of the people, and they are small friendships. Only friends are the righteousness of heaven and earth, and they are the great friends." "No wonder" Chen suddenly said: "The people who receive us call us friends." "Yes." He Xinyin nodded and said: "This is what we call us here." "Is it the same for our own people?" Chen is fine?" Qi asked. "The elders are called 'brothers' and the elders are called 'fathers' and the children are called 'sons'." He Xinyin replied. "What do you call biological parents and children?" Chen asked strangely. "It's all the same." He Xinyin said with a light on his face: "For us, all the children are raised together, and all the elderly are also supported by everyone." "Then He will have an orphanage in the elderly?" Chen Zhi's keenness will never be lost.
"At the beginning, it was called a nursing home, and all the elderly lived there." He Xinyin said: "But later it gradually emerged that the elderly would rather live with their children. If they violated their wishes and forced them to gather together, they would suffer the pain of abandonment. Such things that violate human nature are inconsistent, so we asked our children to take their parents home to support them, but the required prophecy grains are still from the public." Chen nodded and asked, "Why should the children raise them at home?" "The children are raised until the age of six." He Xinyin said: "Then they will be sent to the sect, and the sect is responsible for their food and clothing, and they will be in charge of the general accommodation, so that their parents will no longer worry about them." "Why do we need to go to school together?" Chen said: "We also need to go to school together?"
"Although the teachings learned in the hometown are present in the world, they were not the same as each other's private houses.
In this way, the children only know that they have relatives of their own clans, but not their own relatives. The gathering of private houses and where private thoughts arise, so they gather in public schools to eliminate their own thoughts." He Xinyin said: "And they live in a family, and only love their own people and live in a family, so they regard the village as their own family, and can eliminate their selfish thoughts." "What about the benefits of eating and accommodation?" Chen asked again.
"If you just study together, but you have to go home to eat and sleep, then it will rain heavily, and the children will be in trouble, and the father and brother are also uneasy. Moreover, the children will take the opportunity to wander and play, and they will not concentrate on their studies, so they must not distinguish between distance, age, and must be willing to spend time together, so they should avoid wandering and changing their minds. "So many long periods of time can you go home?" Chen continued to ask. "Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival, Double Ninth Festival." He Xinyin said: "There are ten days holidays a year." "That means, you have to stay in the school a year for 350 days?" Chen immediately remembered the painful boarding life in his previous life and said dumbfoundedly: "Don't you be allowed to come out for the rest of the time?"
"In principle, no one is allowed to come out." He Xinyin said: "But if the parents are ill and have a birthday; or if the uncle is good or bad, the relatives of the outside world are chasing and rushing, they can be dealt with flexibly... Once they appear and make false, they will be expelled from the clan school and will never be allowed to re-enter." "This..." Chen said = "So half-standard. Can students bear it:\}"
"It won't be like this all the time. Usually, after half a year after the children enter school, the auxiliary church will examine them. If there is no foul and their academic progress is slightly improved, they can change their luck and deal with it separately." He Xinyin replied: "Three years later, there will be another big test. If you have a small success in your studies, you can make other changes: If you have a great success in ten years, the children's marriage fee will be paid by the school."
Chen was stunned when he heard this. What kind of world is this? Children are raised from collectively to adulthood, and they don’t have to spend a penny until they get married. Is this a utopia or a communist society? I couldn’t help but stutter: “How can I ensure that all families can comply? Don’t they want children?”
"So you should often preach to your father and brother." He Xinyin said: "Teach them not to have simple and humble worries, to mislead what their children learn. Do not listen to nonsense, make rootless plans, and to mess with teachers and elders' teachings. Do not tolerate idle people and privately order to underestimate the miscellaneous words of family affairs. Do not be fooled by women, give fruits to play with them, wait one by one, one by one, one by one." "Do you rely only on preaching?" Chen murmured, if persuasion is effective, he would not have to worry all day long.
"The total school did not lead one person to teach, eight assistants, and eight assistants to teach." He Xinyin said: "These people will pay attention to them all the time and punish those who commit the crime. Those who commit the crime again will be expelled from the school and no longer care about them. "So what are the teachings in the school?" Chen asked.
"At the beginning, they all learned to read, nothing more than a hundred family surnames, thousands of characters, and full Tang poetry. After they were a little older, gentlemen would start to learn all six arts, especially martial arts, and sports that could strengthen their bodies. He Xinyin replied: "In this way, until they were twelve years old, the leaders and auxiliary teachers would let them specialize in studying scriptures or learn a skill based on their interests, their expertise, and their family's livelihoods, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, accounting and medical skills, and even carpenters and bricklayers... But no matter which one, as long as they can do it well, they will be respected by everyone. They will not think that you are noble because you are a scholar, and you will look down on you because you are a craftsman, and everyone will read for life. Lectures and debates are held regularly in the ancestral hall. Even if they are Jinshi, they may be refuted by a farmer." Is this... really possible?" Chen asked.
"It depends on how to teach." He Xinyin said: "The school has just started two years, and there is still a lot of work to be done, but everyone is very enthusiastic. I believe that as long as the education is in place and ten years of hard work can we cultivate a group of children who are eager to learn, humble, confident and happy to talk."
"I hope..." Chen nodded and said, "That's a school and a retirement person. He also has to take care of marriage - funerals, where does so much cost come from?
"Public property from the village."
"Where does the public property come from?"
"All the original private property in the township was changed to public property." He Xinyin said: "There is also a first-rate maintenance and responsible person, and there are six people in maintenance and auxiliary persons, and twelve people in charge of the general management. These people organize everyone to farm, work, harvest, pay the tax on the emperor's grain, and then keep enough for the public, and the rest will be distributed to each family according to the head as food."
"What if someone is lazy?" Chen asked.
"All the land is divided into pieces, and at the beginning of the year, Yangjia and the general managers will give this year's plan." He Xinyin said: "At that time, we will collect grain according to the amount given at the beginning of the year. The excess can be kept by ourselves, and the less can only be deducted from the food." "Okay, the last question." Chen asked: "How do you convince those big farmers to contribute their own land?" "Actually..." He Xinyin said a little embarrassedly: "My family is the largest big family... and occupy most of the land." "So that's it." Chen said softly: "Otherwise it would be really difficult."
"Don't think of people as if they are selfish." He Xinyin said angrily: "I told several wealthy families that although we have a lot of families now and live a good life, there is a saying that 'wealth is not rich for three generations'. No one knows when the family will fall, how will our descendants live and how to support us in the old age? It's better to turn all the land into public property, so that birth, old age, sickness, death, marriage and funerals, and all the villagers will be burdened with, and you will be worry-free forever." He emphasized again: "Juhetang has been in operation for three years, and most people in the township think it's good!" He shouted: "If you don't believe that I will take you around tomorrow, you can take your own look and leave!"
"I am extremely willing." Chen said seriously: "Brother He, don't get me wrong. I am full of respect for your practice. The reason why I interrogated so carefully is just to help you check the shortcomings and add them to see how to do it better." "I know. I know..." He Xinyin nodded and whispered = "You look at it well. Think about it more, no one can compare to you in this regard..."
The next morning, Chen was pulled out by He Xinyin. Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't have breakfast, but I'm one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one,
"Sister-in-law hasn't eaten yet?" Chen said.
"She cooked it herself." He Xinyin said: "It's still okay to have a simple breakfast.
Chen stopped asking and focused on the surrounding buildings. As he guessed last night, all the families were the same. Two-story buildings with pink walls and black tiles were each with yards. The walls were only half a person high. You can see from the outside that there were chickens and ducks inside, but no dogs... He Xinyin proudly told him that there was no use to keeping dogs in the village, and there were no doors to close at night.
Many villagers were sitting on the stone table in the yard to eat. The girls served their parents with food, but they really couldn't see a boy.
The adults greeted them warmly. Of course, Chen knew that the reason for his popularity was that he was He Xinyin's friend. When he walked to a place where no one was around, he asked in a low voice: "Why is every house the same?" "It was also a difference, and it was built uniformly in the past two years." He Xinyin said proudly: "Every house is built together, and it is of course the same." "It's really powerful..." Chen couldn't help but sigh.
While talking, they arrived at yesterday's "Juhetang" and the two entered the main courtyard this time. The main courtyard was the school for the children of the clan, and ten times later was the canteen. The two came straight to the canteen, but saw four long rows of dining tables in the huge main hall, and two rows of seats were arranged next to each table. Boys in the same clothes were sitting there according to their age. It was originally a little noisy, but when He Xinyin came in, everyone remained quiet and silent. He Xinyin signaled Chen to sit down behind the first table, and he walked towards the middle.
Chen sat down and found that there were only empty plates and empty bowls in front of him. When he looked at the same in front of the children, he felt balanced.-
